The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

We employ fully reconstituted yeast and human DNA replication systems to investigate the structure and biochemical mechanism of the eukaryotic replication machinery. A particular focus of the lab is ...

Computer simulations help materials scientists and biochemists study the motion of macromolecules, advancing the development ...

Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that kills nerve cells in the brain, causing people to lose their cognitive and ...

Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. Gene expression Only a fraction of the genes possessed by any particular cell will be expressed.

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...
